PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of the Community Engagement Core (CEC) is to ensure that the research conducted via the Center for Disparities in Exposure and Health Effects of Multiple Environmental Stressors Across the Life Course is informed by, responsive to, and ultimately serves individuals and communities most affected by environmental health disparities. We will do this in partnership with two community organizations serving residents in Chelsea and Boston, Massachusetts. Activities of the CEC will carry out its two overarching goals: (1) Strengthen environmental health literacy by working with Center investigators, community organizations and individual members of our target communities to create a mutual understanding of how scientific research on daily exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution, combined with non-chemical stressors in the neighborhood environment and within the home, contribute to environmental health disparities, and identify opportunities for intervention and prevention; and (2) Facilitate communication between and among community stakeholders and Center investigators, including for the purpose of training community partners in the design, conduct, interpretation, evaluation and dissemination of research, and the associated products, within and beyond the health-disparate communities most closely affiliated with our Center. Activities of the CEC are focused on accomplishing: Aim 1: Design, implement and evaluate trainings for community residents recruited to participate in Project 2 research by working with Project 2 investigators and CEC partners to develop appropriate and effective recruitment strategies for residents of Chelsea and Dorchester. We will also design and evaluate trainings for community investigators on our research aims, methods and in home-based environmental monitoring which will inform future home-based environmental monitoring studies. Aim 2, evaluate and inform Project 1 and 3 chemical and non-chemical stressor constructs, will be accomplished via formal stakeholder focus groups in Chelsea and Dorchester during which candidate stressor constructs identified by Project 3 investigators will be compared with stressor concerns of community members. We will also organize community sessions to share results of cumulative risk models in Chelsea and Dorchester using innovative and engaging communication methods which will also be evaluated for the risk communication literature. Finally, Aim 3 will focus on the development of culturally appropriate educational materials that translate the aims and findings of Projects 1-3, and Center pilot programs, to improve environmental health literacy while reducing risk in and beyond the populations of Chelsea and Dorchester, Massachusetts. This will involve close collaboration with Center investigators and CEC partners to develop materials that appropriately communicate the aims and findings of Center studies to stakeholders, including partners associated with the four cohort studies being leveraged in Project 1 (the CARDIA study and Children’s Health Watch sites).

项目概要 社区参与核心 (CEC) 的目的是确保通过社区进行的研究 跨地区多种环境压力因素的暴露和健康影响差异中心 生命历程由受影响最严重的个人和社区提供信息、响应并最终服务于这些个人和社区。 我们将与两个服务的社区组织合作来做到这一点。 CEC 的活动将实现其两个总体目标： (1) 与中心调查人员、社区组织合作，加强环境健康素养 以及我们目标社区的个人成员，以就科学研究如何进行相互理解 日常暴露于室内和室外空气污染，以及环境中的非化学压力源 邻里环境和家庭内部，造成环境健康差异，并确定 干预和预防的机会；以及 (2) 促进社区之间的沟通 利益相关者和中心调查员，包括为了培训社区合作伙伴的设计目的， 研究及相关产品的实施、解释、评估和传播 除了与我们中心关系最密切的健康差异社区之外，CEC 的活动还有。 重点完成： 目标 1：设计、实施和评估社区居民招聘培训 通过与项目 2 研究人员和 CEC 合作伙伴合作参与项目 2 研究，开发 我们还将为切尔西和多切斯特的居民设计适当且有效的招聘策略。 评估社区调查员关于我们的研究目标、方法和家庭研究的培训 环境监测将为未来的家庭环境监测研究提供信息。 评估并告知项目 1 和 3 化学和非化学应激源结构，将通过 在切尔西和多切斯特举行正式的利益相关者焦点小组，在此期间构建候选人压力源 我们将把项目 3 调查员确定的压力源与社区成员的担忧进行比较。 还组织社区会议，分享切尔西和多切斯特的累积风险模型的结果，使用 创新且引人入胜的沟通方法也将针对风险沟通进行评估 最后，目标 3 将侧重于开发适合文化的教育材料。 转化项目 1-3 和中心试点计划的目标和结果，以改善环境健康 识字率，同时降低马萨诸塞州切尔西和多切斯特人口内外的风险。 涉及与中心研究人员和 CEC 合作伙伴的密切合作，以开发适当的材料 向利益相关者传达中心研究的目标和结果，包括与该中心相关的合作伙伴 项目 1 中利用了四项队列研究（CARDIA 研究和儿童健康观察网站）。
